i agree with maxi, most of the acts that come are pretty dire. or they play pants (oasis for instace played as you'd expect but didnt seem to put the "show" on) but there is exceptions to that. ive been to big gigs but like i prefer goin to smaller venues such as tunnels, moshulu etc. i like havin the chance to talk with the bands after. i mean go to a big gig and whats the likelyhood of catchin morrisey (for example) chilling at the bar? probs no chance. but what someone else said about the bigger bands goin to glasgow etc. its true in my opinion. minus the 3/4 full thing. it would probs sell out. . . but aint SECC bigger than AECC? and more people from borders/central belt will more likely pack into glasgow than aberdeen. it sucks alot sometimes. .
